Addition located at 1109 Church Street and 5500 Colleyville Boulevard,
Case P-08-002
Ron Ruthven presented the case and briefed the Commission.
Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding the waiver request,
what is the condition of the adjacent property and is there a need for the
connectivity? Ron Ruthven replied the adjacent property has no
connectivity the subject property, however, there may be a need for it in
the future.
Mark Howe, the applicant, came forward to answer any questions that
the Commissioners had. He stated the property to the south does not
have any stub out to this subject property. He stated if the stub outs are
required, the property to the south would have to give up parking spaces.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Howe if the site will be affected?
Mr. Howe replied that it does affect the site to be developed. He stated
Lot 2 can be developed into more than one building, however, there
would be a fire lane that would run across the property and it would not
meet the fire lane curves required for a fire truck.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Mr. Howe if the stub out were to be
constructed, would the property be developable? Mr. Howe replied yes,
but something less than what they would like to develop.
Discussion occurred between Commissioner Redfearn and Mr. Howe
regarding the benefits of the cross access. Mr. Howe stated there would
be no retail benefit for having cross access.
Discussion occurred between Commissioner Phelps and Mr. Howe
regarding a potential Lot 3 and that there could not be a building on Lot 3
with cross access because of the setback from Colleyville Boulevard.
Commissioner Redfearn questioned staff regarding if Lot 2 were to be
divided in the future and there was to be a Lot 3, would the same waiver

Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final February 11, 2008
issue come back? Ron Ruthven replied correct.
Commissioner Clardy questioned staff regarding if the alignment on
Colleyville Boulevard regarding the right of ways is current on the
exhibits? Ron Ruthven concurred.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff regarding if there is a legal way
to compel the Baylor facility to do the stub out? Ron Ruthven replied no,
they would have to volunteer the stub out.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Fire Marshal McKeown regarding if
there would be an issue with setting the building back more? Marshal
McKeown replied that the issue would be that the developer could not
meet the turning radius and that the building could be damaged by one
of the fire engines.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned Marshal McKeown if the stub out
were required on the Baylor property, would it be approachable from the
Baylor side? Marshal McKeown replied from their property, it could be
approached, but a left turn would not be able to be made without
possibly damaging a building. Commissioner Dudziak questioned
Marshal McKeown regarding if there was another approach and the left
turn would not have to be made, the truck could come in from the south
on the Baylor parking lot? Marshal McKeown replied that not being the
issue, he stated the stub out would be too close to Colleyville Boulevard.
Commissioner Duffy moved to approve the plat and deny the waiver
request for case P-08-002. Commissioner Phelps seconded.
Commissioner Redfearn stated being acceptable of the waiver request,
believing that a large chunk of Lot 2 would be effected by a stub out to
no where.
Commissioner Phelps stated having a concern with the waiver request
because it would encourage a building to be built right on the street. He
stated with the new street to come, there would not be any landscaping
done. He stated he did not want to encourage the waiver, however he
stated he does understand the waiver request and stated not being
opposed to it.

The motion failed by the following vote:
Aye: 3 -Dudziak, Phelps, Duffy
Nay: 4 -Knox, Redfearn, Clardy, Byerly
Commissioner Redfearn moved to approve case P-08-002 granting
the waiver request for the mutual access easement. Commissioner
Knox seconded.
Commissioner Dudziak stated having issues with not granting
mutual access for future development. He stated when Colleyville
Boulevard does expand, the businesses will want the cross access
to be able to get to those businesses.
Commissioner Duffy stated he would like the Fire Marshal's
comments to be understood. He stated the Marshal stated he could
gain access from behind, on the Baylor property, to gain access to
fight a fire. He stated the businesses should have the
Commission's support regarding cross access.
Commissioner Redfearn questioned Marshal McKeown regarding if
there is anything in the site plan that is a concern by reaching a
builidng that might be built within the building lines on Lot 2?
Marshal McKeown replied having concerns with having a building
right up against Colleyville Boulevard and Church Street. He
stated the fire code and amendments state that a fire lane should be
24 feet wide and 14 foot vertical clearance. He stated if any building
can be accessed by 150 feet, then the fire code requirements are
met. He stated if they are unable to meet that requirement then
there are other options such as sprinkle and alarm the building. He
stated the stub out from the Baylor property would empty out into
Church street which would not be far enough away from the
Colleyville Boulevard intersection which would be in violation of
other code requirements. He stated since the developer is doing
what is required by the code, he stated he could not ask him to do
anything else.
Commissioner Clardy questioned Marshal McKeown regarding if
the 150 foot requirement has to be met on that property or can it be
met with the truck on the Baylor property? Marshal McKeown
replied it is normally from that property.
Commissioner Knox replied that the entrance from Church Street
into the property on Colleyville Boulevard is only 98 feet. Marshal
McKeown concurred.

would be to the rear? Mr. Enuke replied there is a door to the rear for
the service side for the trailers and there are two sliding doors to the side
of the building, north and south side.
Commissioner Phelps questioned Mr. Kox regarding if the attached
awning areas will be enclosed with masonry and wrought iron? He
stated the documentation presented states that the original size of the
building is 12,000 square feet and the new proposed building is 24,000
square feet. He questioned if there is no storage outside of the
structure, will there be items stored in the new square footage that is
being enclosed by the half wall and wrought iron structure? He
questioned if that would be in violation of the code regarding outside
storage for that location since the outside storage is not currently part of
the structure? Mr. Kox replied the intent is to store the donations in the
existing structure, however, he stated there are times during the year
when the facility will have a lot of donations that will require outside
storage but that they will not be visible from the street and that there will
be no donations on the parking side. He stated they currently operate
City of Colleyville Page Q Printed on 2/27/2008

a concern for compliance with outside storage.

only, not a retail facility? Mr. Kox concurred.

materials will be used for the construction of the lattice above the brick
wall? Mr. Enuke replied a steel lattice work painted black not greater

7:47 p.m.
Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding if overnight storage in
the newly enclosed area would be in compliance with City code? Ron
Ruthven replied, as presented by the applicant, the Commission will
have to make that decision whether or not the Commission will accept
that as overnight storage. Commissioner Phelps questioned staff
regarding if that is considered inside the facility or outside the facility?
Ron Ruthven replied the ordinance language prohibits outside storage.
Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding if this is still considered
outside storage in the newly enclosed awning area? Ron Ruthven
replied the Commission can define it would be considered outside or
inside storage. He stated this is enclosed and screened by lattice. He
stated as it is now, it is open and visible.
Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding if this will be considered
a building or is it some other enclosure regarding building codes and
aesthetics? Ron Ruthven replied there are no actual building material
requirements. Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding if the
building will have to be enclosed to be considered a building? Ron
Ruthven concurred. He stated if the areas where the lattice is shown are
open to the air, then it would be considered a screened or porch area.
Commissioner Byerly questioned staff regarding the drive thru issue, can
this Special Use Permit cover the drive thru condition? Ron Ruthven
replied the drive thru plans have not been shown on the plans that staff
has reviewed. He stated the Commission can address the drive thru
service within the Special Use Permit.
Commissioner Phelps questioned staff regarding if they were to extend
the brick wall under the awning and enclose that, would there be code
issues regarding the new square footage? Ron Ruthven replied if they
were to enclose the building and increase the square footage as they
have proposed, without an intensive review, there does not appear to be
City of Colleyville pays 7 Printed on 2/27/2008
Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes -Final February 11, 2008
any building code violations.

outside storage is not allowed, it states that no truck or trailer can be
parked outside. Ron Ruthven concurred and stated that any part of that
should be added to the ordinance by the Commission.
Commissioner Dudziak questioned staff if a left hand turn can be made
heading south bound into these entryways or is that median back up
there and can there be a left hand turn made onto Glade Road headed
south? Ron Ruthven replied currently there is a median.

provided. He stated not being in favor of having outside storage. He
stated being in favor if the facility was fully enclosed.

buying the building? David Bostick, President and CEO of Goodwill,
stated they are purchasing the property and are willing to be a good
neighbor.

ordinance would be amended to include the discussion points? City

include them in the ordinance to present to City Council.
Commissioner Phelps moved to approve case Z-08-003 with the
following amendment that the proposed additional enclosure be fully
enclosed and included in the building and that no outside storage be
allowed on the premises. City Attorney Kallas suggested no outside
storage under the existing awning unless it is fully enclosed. Therefore,
if the applicant wants to move forward with what they have, then it would
be a matter of making sure that there is no outside storage and if they do
want the extra square footage, then they can raise up the wall. He
stated if the Commission would like to do away with the lattice work
altogether, the motion should reflect such. Commissioner Phelps stated
he would like the lattice work to not comply with fully enclosed. He
stated wanting the facility to be fully enclosed and included with the
building. Commissioner Duffy seconded.

Industries. He stated this is not the proper use for this building in the

regarding the use of a dwelling. City Attorney Kallas stated the Special

the only way to correct these problems is to have Code Enforcement on

working over 40 hours a week to do his job. He suggested that the
